The reasons are:
- the blood is very low on nutrition
- the leech is not feeding itself regularly

The leech slows it metabolism a lot, so it can survive on very low nutrition. The blood is very low on nutrition, and it is the leech's food source, so the evolution made it preserve energy.

The leach doesn't have the opportunity to feed itself on regular basis, so it takes maximum advantage of any opportunity and consumes as much blood as possible so that it can survive long term when it will not have food at disposal.

Answer:

Explanation:

Lets take an example of human primates -they communicate in a diverse way in their life cycle using gesture ,posture ,vocals ,expressions etc . The the humans are in their infant stage they cry when they feel hunger . No one teaches them to do so these are naturally done by then through natural instincts .They expresses their anger by making sounds . As we grow up we use all of our sense organ to communicate with the organisms and the environment . We uses verbal as well as non verbal communication depending upon the need . Human primates uses diverse ways to communicate ,visual expressions and gestures also speak alot .

communication increases fitness within the species as they talk about their need . Through communication only relationships and interactions established among primate. This can be used to communicate information among members of a troop that can increase the fitness of a collective group . As we know that as a community we share responsibilities ,so if the communication is strong life expectancy increases in many primates (such as monkey , tigers and dears ) .

I believe the correct response would be B. Since of evolution were to occur, the possibility of the geographically isolated snakes to reproduce would be 0. Since the gene pool or the collection of all the genes in the population were to change and as a result of future reproductions of the 2 populations over time, transmission of specific genes that code for traits were to be specific for that population, ultimately not allowing them to reproduce.
